Although there are sources (Be'er Heitev OC 224:8) which discuss placing stones on a grave, that seems to be more of an honor for the deceased. Apparently Rebbi Akiva Eiger asked his family to stone his grave as an atonement - where do we find such a concept? (And is his will available to view?)

Eduyot 5:6:

שֶׁכָּל הַמִּתְנַדֶּה וּמֵת בְּנִדּוּיוֹ סוֹקְלִין אֶת אֲרוֹנוֹ

Anyone who dies in a state of excommunication, we stone his coffin
